The sensor features a 24 mm wide parallel light beam for accurate detection and measurement.

For sensing applications involving distances as far as 200 mm, Baumer (Southington, CT) has introduced the new Long-Range ParCon, an analog optical line sensor that projects a continuous 24 mm wide beam of parallel light to a reflector, permitting extremely fast and reliable detection of moving parts as small as 0.5 mm.  The sensor features:

• High speed processing rates up to 1kHz.
• Resolutions up to 0.1 mm.
• A 24 mm wide parallel light beam for accurate detection and measurement.
• Housing size of 67 x 34 x 16.5.
